NL Vampires are sexy because that is part of their base concept. They are supposed to be representative of deviancy and society moving ever further away from classic social values, they represent the teenagers going out to clubs and raves at night, they represent the seduction of the youth into drugs and depravity. They are meant to be cool and sexy because they are meant to make the viewer interested in becoming one of them, as represented by the conversion of a human into a vampire. it is the temptation towards eternal life, money, and power, that draws the victim in only to have them cursed to never enter the sun again. (Vampires are pretty old. the Sun originally represented god and the ability to live a moral christian life). They are kind of the opposite of Zombies. where zombies represent rampant consumerism and the sublimation of individual thought to collective decision making, vampires represent the dangers of straying from traditional values and community, they represent how tempting sex, drugs, and rock and roll can be, even though in the end they lead you down a darker path. Whether you agree with this metaphor or not is going to vary from person to person, but that _is_ what vampires are meant to represent. and they have to be cool for the Drugs/Sex metaphor to work. Plus they've got that whole 'eternal youth in a perfect, unblemished, ocassionally-corpse-like body' thing going on.

Peyton Simon He seemed to be slowly improving in most areas, at a snail's pace, but there were a couple of times where he could of won a fight he was losing. The problem there being that he just completely ignored the orange glow on his screen, and the big prompt telling him to press Y.
1:08:50 -- "One thing I've learned about history: if it's cool it wasn't real." He doesn't know about the Incas being ruled by a dynasty of immortal mummies; or the parts of Roman history with knights, vikings and flamethrowers; or about Zheng He's treasure fleets; or the sheer savagery of what Brits will do to secure a cup of tea; or...
I would absolutely rather fight a werewolf than a vampire. Like, what are the chances that you just _happen_ to fight them on the full moon? basically zero. and any other time they are just normal humans. And hell, with a lot of werewolfs they aren't even that tough in their werewolf form (compared to vampires), lots of them are literally just a wolf, and I know for a fact that I can take a wolf 1v1 at least 5/10 times.
World of Darkness doesn't really count though, If you are a normal human going up against _anything_ in the world of darkness you are going to be fucked. Plus it depends on the Vampire. The Antediluvians would kick a werewolf's ass. (and if we are talking _averages_, then Mage's and Changelings still kick werewolf ass).
The vampire question is interesting. It depends. Vampires don't need to completely drain people to eat. They could take just a bit. If it's the infections form of vampirism, just draw the blood with a needle into a separate container, then drink it. Or just try to get a hold of Blood Packs.
"living forever sucks because I can't see people that look younger than me and think 'I'm smarter than them'" Almost every point NL made in this vampire talk was bad
Halfswording is absolutely a real thing. If you grab a blade properly, especially with thick/armored gloves it's basically harmless. It was common practice for sword users to grab their own blade to get finer control to stick the point between gaps in armor.
I am a HEMA practitioner, halfswording is a real thing. Very real. Grabbing the sword by the blade and attacking with the hilt is one of the way to get around armour.
The whole "sin and just confess to absolve their sins" is something we already learned in history but I can't seem to remember what exactly it was. Something about some king getting divorced and only the rich going to heaven.
How the fuck has NL not seen An American Werewolf in London? That movie is legitimately amazing and I'm honestly surprised he of all people hasn't seen it

Barnabas Collins (the original) is a vampire, he is cool. Strahd von Zarovich is a vampire, he is cool. Alucard and Dracula are vampires, they are cool. Therefore vampires are cool.
Have you seen "Dance in the Vampire Bund"? What the vampires try to build is an island where artificial blood is poured across its interior from the ceiling. And they made a public appearance on live TV.
I love that we're seeing so many appearances from Boston Rob, they fill the SS in NLSS and Malf should always be here. Fit Josh in too cause fuck this channel without him. Yeah, I mean the channel.
yo forgoing all music because of the possibility of the brown note is like forgoing *all* restaurants because of the possibility of bad food, and getting punched in the armpit can make you shit yourself, but pro boxers aren't really concerned with this, I just feel forgoing all music is too severe
I know this was for just shits and giggles but, this is actually a good point, if a vampire just needs blood, fresh blood, to survive why can't they just go buy it from like a blood bank or something? Where has it been specified that it needed to come right from another human being? And if this is the case that they can just buy the blood then the bite would only serve to turn other people into vampires.
Tell Austin that in battle, it was not uncommon to see a fighter grab the blade of their sword and use the crushing force of the hilt almost like a hammer.
Me either. I actually have no idea what sound they're talking about that's so terrible. I turned my sound way up, and all I could hear is a click. If that's what they're complaining about, they seriously need to get over it.
You must not be able to hear that frequency, then. It's actually horrible. There are tests online to see how high your hearing range goes, and some people's range is much higher than others.
in the Catholic Church there is a vow of silence for any and all confessions. however just going to confession doesn't necessarily mean that you will receive absolution. most Catholic Eastern Rites allow for married men to enter the priesthood, and there are also examples of this happening in the Latin Rite as wel, but it is uncommon. also in catholicism mastrobation is a sin
Half-swording is very much real. It's part of "harnischfechten" (armour-fighting), and though not usually relevant in recreational historical fencing these days (it can seriously damage people, even with armour), it was very relevant in actual wars. Not only were European swords less sharp where you'd hold them, but so long as you don't slide your fingers along the blade, you probably won't get cut if you grab it. Half-swording lets you use your sword like a spear-hammer, which is way better against armor. The sharp bit can be used like a spear, and the handle can be used like a hammer. There's a surprising lot of cool stuff in actual swordplay, stuff they leave out of the movies for some reason. Some of the only stuff that's not real is spinning, because that's physically and strategically ridiculous for the most part.
I actually looked this up on Wikipedia, there's a bit of cross-over. Something to do with the word "vampire" not existing for a period and the original vampires being grossly different from modern ones - so yeah kinda.
I'm pretty sure Rob's completely full of shit on that. I can't see any way that having to focus on more than just the basic fighting is better, unless you're getting carried by the rest of the team.
Alright, so I'm fucking sick of the attitude of "why don't professional companies know how to make games?" that Austin said. That is such an oversimplification of software design, it's not even funny As someone in game design and programming, netcode is easily THE hardest part of game development because of the uncountable number of variables that can fuck it up for no reason. There is a reason why very few multiplayer games actually work and why so few indie games even have online multiplayer instead of local. There are of course those rare few games that have next to no issue but again, they are very few and far between. That's the end of my rant. Love you guys, but sometimes man, sometimes the ignorance is high. Also, Rob...wtf man? Seriously wishing death toward the cast and writers of Friends is way too far and I lost a lot of respect for you. I know you dislike the show but that's a really shitty excuse to say something that shitty.
As I said, that's way too much of an oversimplification for something so complex. It's similar to when they were talking about RUclips and its purges in a past NLSS where NL was defending them because, having a slight background in programming, he realized that everyone else's complaints were them oversimplifying something that isn't that simple. It's the same deal with this. Just because some games' online multiplayer go off without a hitch doesn't mean it's possible or feasible for others to do the same. It's just not that simple.
+bananamaster00 Except in this case a couple of guys made it to the moon by themselves and NASA can't with their millions of dollars. Big game studios shouldn't be pushing out full priced multiplayer games if they can't manage to get the netcode at least decent
NL, I know what you mean about subtitles and comedy. It throws off the timing on some jokes also. I think you have to be choosy about what you have subtitles on for.

Northernlion always gets shit for being bad at stuff. This NLSS he is actively trying to resist getting better.

I enjoyed the For Honor part, looking forward to a bit more.
Lmfao, they play for honour like a horror game - where Tai Lopez is like Jason or something.
I wish tai lopez was my boyfriend
I don't get how NL can be so completely awful and not know how to play anything besides isaac.... kind of really disappointing
I swear Ive seen some videos about a Tai Lopez who was like a billionaire who was into real estate.
Yeah, he is pretty much a meme.
I don't want the government to legalize vampirism, but I'm okay with decriminalizing it.

Plus it depends on the Vampire. The Antediluvians would kick a werewolf's ass. (and if we are talking _averages_, then Mage's and Changelings still kick werewolf ass).
Werewolves kick absolute ass in Chronicles of Darkness 2E tho.
NL's willful ignorance of For Honor is painful.
Half-swording is absolutely a real thing, and is absolutely necessary to punch through heavy armour with a longsword.
I'm pretty sure they were talking about mordhau, though, cause he said he hit him with the hilt.
The vampire question is interesting. It depends. Vampires don't need to completely drain people to eat. They could take just a bit. If it's the infections form of vampirism, just draw the blood with a needle into a separate container, then drink it. Or just try to get a hold of Blood Packs.
I thought vampires didn't eat blood. They eat the color red.
If you're being serious, that's just in adventure time
Shhh! Don't ruin the reference lol
This does not seem to be XCOM 2
For Honor is a new mod to XCOM 2.

It's Construction Knight!
the vampire thing should be handled like safe injection sites
In For Honor, an attack that looks like it's on orange fire is unblock-able. The raiders is one of your best ways to murder.
I like the advertisement that played at the beginning of this for me was an ad for a razor and featured two bald men in business suits

In quiplash, you only need to say the first percent, not both.
Half-swording is very much real. It's part of "harnischfechten" (armour-fighting), and though not usually relevant in recreational historical fencing these days (it can seriously damage people, even with armour), it was very relevant in actual wars.
